Non-Coherent Communications Associated with Polar Coding

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising performing rate matching on the information bits to adjust a quantity of bits in a codeword.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the rate matching punctures the information bits to decrease the quantity of the bits.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the rate matching repeats the information bits to increase the quantity of the bits.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the configuration of the polar code encoding operation removes an all-one vector from a generator matrix associated with the polar code encoder.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the configuration of the polar code encoding operation freezes a bit index.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the bit index corresponds to a location of an all-one vector associated with the polar encoder.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the bit index corresponds to a bit location having a largest reliability among all bit locations of the polar code encoder.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the wireless communication device comprises a first user equipment (UE).

18. The method of claim 15, further comprising encoding the information bits with a second polar code encoding operation to generate the codeword based on the type of the rate matching failing to satisfy the first polar code encoding condition, wherein the second polar code encoding operation is capable of generating a codeword that is a bit-flipped counterpart of another codeword that the second polar code encoding operation is capable of generating.

19. The method of claim 15, wherein the wireless device is a user equipment (UE).

20. The method of claim 15, wherein the wireless device is a base station.
